New Zealand’s MediaWorks TV Migrates Broadcast Management to Pilat Media’s
IBMS Version 6
IBMS Provides Solid Foundation to Support New Services Such as Electronic
Bookings, Multiplatform Offerings and Video on Demand
LONDON — June 5, 2012 — Pilat Media Global plc (AIM: PGB), the leading supplier
of business management software to the media industry, today announced that New
Zealand broadcaster MediaWorks TV has completed a successful migration of its
operations to Version 6 of the Pilat Media Integrated Broadcast Management System
(IBMS) for both TV3 and FOUR.
“Pilat Media’s IBMS has been the core of our business since 2003, driving virtually every
aspect of our broadcasting operation. With IBMS, we’ve been able to optimize sales
profitability, streamline resources, and access the management information we need to
make strategic decisions,” said Peter Crossan, CFO, MediaWorks. “With Version 6,
we’re looking forward to building on that foundation to add significant new business
management capabilities — such as e-bookings and cross-platform sales — to support
our video-on-demand offerings.”
TV3 launched in November 1989, and in 2008 was the first private television network in
New Zealand to introduce HD broadcasts. The new IBMS Version 6 infrastructure will
enable the network to fully integrate all sales, traffic, and content functions including
acquisition and planning, scheduling and playout of media assets, and content inventory
and rights. Key features of IBMS
Version 6 for MediaWorks TV include its mainstream component architecture, ability to
cache data locally to reduce network traffic, and the 64-bit option which will allow the
network to add more users per server.

2. With the migration to IBMS Version 6, MediaWorks is taking advantage of several
significant usability and productivity upgrades, including an enhanced GUI based on the
Microsoft.NET framework. Other improvements are geared towards boosting user
productivity, such as mandatory field indicators and new grid functionality such as pivot
tables, column choosers, and column sorting, and exporting data to industry-standard
formats.
“With this MediaWorks upgrade, our entire Asia/Pacific customer base is now running
IBMS Version 6. As our flagship product, IBMS is precisely targeted to media companies
who are continually expanding their service offerings and need the support of a scalable
business management system that can grow and evolve with the business,” said Avi
Engel, CEO, Pilat Media.
